Phone Scoop Review

Jan 22, 2013 by Eric M. ZemanHTC's One SV for Cricket Wireless is an excellent mid-range Android smartphone for the prepaid carrier. Read Phone Scoop's full report to see if anything holds it back. read review ›

I am using Boost Mobile's version of HTC One SV. And I really like it allot! It's not without faults. But I highly recommend this phone!

My biggest complaint would have to be the storage. It's advertised as having 8 GBs of on board storage. But in reality the on board storage is divided into two sections: 4GB of "Internal Storage" (fast), and 4GB of "Phone Storage" (slow). The slow storage will not support some apps. And unfortunately the bloatware takes up almost 3/4 of it. And if you update the bloatware, you'll lose another 300MB or so. So that doesn't as much as you might expect from a phone labeled at having 8 GBs of storage.

Still, the phone is quite an amazing phone for such a low price with no contract.

PROs:LTEMUVE MUSIC!!! 1st Cricket 4G phone to have itBeats Audio - Especially with Beats Ear Buds...Camera - quick shutter speedVideo - able to take pictures while recording at the same timeHTC Phone - This is my first HTC phone and I am really impressed with the ease of use of the phoneRate Plan - $70 a month for 10GB of internet use!!!

CONs:Nothing Yet...

Is What It Is:Battery life - I am a heavy phone user and the battery is lasting to expectations. I connect it at least twice a day (primary work phone, heavy on calls, text and e-mail)

Overall:Very happy with this phone. Love the Muve Music application. Over 283 songs downloaded so far and counting... Loving the 4G LTE on the Cricket network!!! Netflix is smooth with absolutely no buffering whatsoever.

GREAT PHONE

well... the Samsung GS3 was the first truly great phone for Cricket... and this is the second right behind it! Consider it the little brother. Just wish the camera was 8mpxl vs 5, and had a little more internal storage, but otherwise, awesome phone!
